NAKED = FUN

I once had this crazy idea for a TV show. It was called naked fishing. This would not be sexy naked either. It would be ugly, Joy of Sex/70s Porn naked. Regular people doing what they loved, in this case fishing, just naked. It would be a real fishing show just with the people not having clothes.
But then I thought, Why just fishing?
I could do a show about the joy of nakedness.
Naked Fishing
Naked Cooking
Naked Ballroom Dancing
Almost anything, It would just be naked. The show would be shot and presented as a straight and serious show. Which of course would the joke/funny part about it.

Happy Saint Patrick's Day

Doctor Who



Some Geeks love there Star ships named Enterprise, some Geeks want a Battle Star, and some geeks want a X-Wing. But not me. Nope, this geek would love to have a TARDIS.TARDIS stands for Time And Relative Dimension In Space. It a time machine that, The Doctor (The title character from the long running British Sci fi series Doctor Who travels around in) travels around in on his adventures. I use to come home from playing soccer and watch Doctor Who on PBS. I loved it, it was fun. The Doctor used his brain to fight the evils of the universe, not some lasers. Plus he had a robot for a dog, K-9
Looking back now I see how cheesy the show was but that doesn't lessen my love for it. Much in the same way I still love the Godzilla movies that have a man in a rubber suit.
But the show did more, it opened my mind to new ideas, like tesseracts and paradoxs. Not the average thoughts of your average eight year old. While I will never be a rocket scientist, I got to thank the Doctor, for helping make the kid in me a Sci-Fi geek. Which I see as, not a good thing, but a great thing.
Why have I brought this up after all this years, Well the BBC, restarted Docter Who in the Spring of 2005 (its 27th season, I do believe) and those episode will premiere tonight on the Sci-Fi channel.

IPWology Videos

From time to time I come across a website on the internet and just get obsessed with it. I know I am sad. Currently this is You Tube.
I just started watching stuff on it. From teenage Canadian Melodrama, to movie trailers, to anime, to music videos. Just about anything you can think of is on this site.
I know, what you are thinking, "Ian, stop promoting the site. You are not getting paid."
True, but it has inspired me to share some of the stuff I have been watching.But I didn't want to clog up my blog with alot of videos, so I made a whole new blog for that.
Introducing IPWology Videos
I thought I would start out with something easy. The best video every made, Johnny Cash's Hurt. I hope you like it.

*** Warning!!! A Good High Speed Internet connection helps ***
